Just made donation to Houston Area Respite Care (www.harc-hou.org), hope you’ll consider too
Houston Chronicle: Trying to Save a Godsend, 2010-Apr-26, by Jennifer Radcliffe: But with donations down in this tough economy, the Houston Area Respite Center is in danger of closing its doors. It doesn't have the $90,000 a year it needs to operate the parents'-night-out program or its social club for adults with special needs. A…

Have so many fun projects to work on… Weekend seems to evaporate…
I'll have my weekend vicariously by looking at some cool photos. Drew and Didi live in San Antonio, but they took this cool picture in downtown Houston, apparently at trials for a bike race. http://www.flickr.com/photos/morganti/4546981985/
